Vanguard Reaches Sector is probably the only remaining sector in the entire Vargr Extents, where minor mercenaries and soldier-adventurers still have the means and the opportunities to carve out their own personal empires without the possibilities of major opposition or interference by outside powers.
- Piracy is still endemic to many regions, many of them privateers in the secret employ of various states, and petty territorial wars rage on some of the more remote worlds.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Vanguard Reaches Sector is a dynamic frontier region where multiple races, cultures, and societies mix and blend. Many Zhodani claim it as their frontier. Many Vargr assert that it is a spinward extension of the Vargr Extents, a sort of Spinward Extents while the native, aboriginal indigenes feel a little differently...

Historical Eras[edit]
History-General Overview: No information yet available.
History-Era: Mileu 1100[edit]
The Vanguard Reach is a remote nowhere. In the antebellum period it was too far from any of the major powers. It was peripheral even to the Frontier Wars: Zhodani and Imperial military planners steadfastly refused to waste ships and resources in trying to influence the sector. Much of this disinterest was due to the sector's unusually low stellar density. Most of the sector's worlds and civilizations are in the four coreward most subsectors, or along the Beyond interface. The further one goes away from those regions, the fewer and farther between habitable worlds become, until one reaches the Helix Rift in the lower spinward-rimward quarter.
Needless to say, this scattering discouraged much development or political organization within the heart of the subsector. The remoteness of many worlds attracted many fringe religions and cults as well as political refugees to settle here, none of whom had anything in common with each other except a shared desire to be left alone. Aside from the Colonnade Administrative District (CAD) and the Corellans at the flanks, the sector was an impoverished frontier of no consequence, with no prospects and no value.
